Avocado Egg Salad

So I have been really working on losing weight and eating better. One of my favorite comfort foods is egg salad - but it can be really bad when you get it in a restaurant. I have my recipe that I shared a bunch of years ago, but I saw a recipe that looked intriguing. I had seen a number of recipes for pulling an avocado into egg salad (including this one) as a way to reduce mayo and get some healthy fats in your diet. So I took a few recipes and played with it a bit. This is my first attempt and I really like it. It makes around five 1/2 cup servings and they clock in at around 164 calories. Avocado gives you alot of calories, but it gives you lots and lots of nutrients. Ditto on the Chia seeds. So it is a good trade-off. Anyway, I love the way this came out and will be a great lunch and snack.
